Hurricane Harvey devastated southeast Texas in August 2017. In the midst of the devastation, there was at least one silver lining. Kaitlin's awesome sister, Amanda, suffered major flooding to her family's home, like many Meyerland (a Houston district) residents. Matthew ended up at Amanda's home, along with his father Brian, to help out after their Church put out a list of neighborhoods in need. Kaitlin also ended up at her sister Amanda's house to help. Amanda introduced Matthew to Kaitlin, and it's been Truelove ever since.
